The province's new energy strategy also calls for major investments in electricity transmission and distribution, as well as the careful selection of new industrial developments that use electricity.
Right now, the province is considering 18 energy-intensive industrial proposals that together would require 4,400 megawatts of power.
As a result, the province will give preference to industrial proposals that provide the greatest economic benefit as well as the lowest environmental impact.
"It will require a lot of nimble, careful selection of technology and investment".
